sciencehabit writes "Patients suffering from the agony of cluster headaches will take anything to dull the pain, even LSD, it turns out. Results from a pilot study reveal that six patients treated with 2-bromo-LSD, a nonhallucinogenic analog of LSD, showed a significant reduction in cluster headaches per day; some were free of the attacks for weeks or months. And some of these patients are still reporting significant relief more than a year after they were treated with the compound." I'm told, by people with reason to know, that the hallucinogenic variety has the same effect on cluster headaches.

I found covering the walls and floor with sticky paper helps with the giant insects. Unfortunately several of my rather large stuck house guests insist on watching Fox News. I had to give it up because watching Fox News on acid really makes me paranoid.

"An update", turns out it wasn't the acid or the 6' cockroaches making me paranoid it was Fox News. That was a relief.

This story begs for a rewite... could we at least have a hyperlink for science habit? Anybody check his user number? Timothy claims he has unknown sources... or hiding his own job-disqualifying problems?

You do realize that Timothy's last name is Leary, right? He's writing based on first-hand knowledge.
